16 Days of Activism
Campaigning around the world through our members for an end to gender-based violence
We support the United Nations’ 16 Days of Activism campaign which runs from 25 November to 10 December.
Throughout this campaign, we join with over 6,000 organisations from over 185 countries to raise awareness of and call for an end to gender-based violence and abuse in all forms and in all societies.
Gender-based violence is one of the most widespread violations of human rights. It can affect anyone at any time, and it takes many forms. It can be a part of a damaging cultural norm or hidden behind closed doors. We believe that we must bring this into the light.

How you can join this campaign
In Britain & Ireland, our members offer invaluable, grassroots support. From providing essential items for refuges, organising workshops on gender-based issues in schools and prisons, to supporting the families of survivors to heal and rebuild important family bonds, our members are constantly looking for ways to put their faith into action.
We work in partnership with local domestic abuse organisations and parishes to raise awareness about the prevalence of all forms of abuse in our communities and give practical examples of how we can all be part of the change.
